Well, I hacked booteasy to set my card so my wife can see F1 for DOS F2 for FreeBSD. The problem I ran into with FreeBSD is that it would sort-of work okay for the boot loaded except for printing text in blue(?). and then when the kernel started the text was not visible. I poked around in syscon but never got anything reasonable working. Doug A.
